SFP+ Transceiver CBO SFP-10G-BX-D 10G 1310nm Single-Mode Bidirectional

The BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-D is a hot-pluggable SFP+ transceiver module that supports 10 Gbps data transmission over single-mode fiber using a 1310 nm wavelength in bidirectional operation. Designed for compact insertion into compatible switches, routers and media converters, this transceiver enables point-to-point fiber links while conserving fiber infrastructure by using a single fiber strand for both transmit and receive channels. The module suits carrier and enterprise environments where high-density, high-speed uplinks and long-reach connectivity are required.

Advantages

The transceiver offers a standard SFP+ form factor for broad compatibility with equipment that accepts SFP+ modules and supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds for demanding network segments. Bidirectional single-mode operation reduces cabling needs and simplifies installation in fiber-limited sites. Its hot-pluggable nature allows insertion and removal without powering down the host device, facilitating maintenance and upgrades with minimal disruption.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks between switches and routers
• Long-reach point-to-point fiber connections in carrier or data center networks
• Fiber consolidation where single-fiber bidirectional links save cabling
• Hot-swap installation and maintenance in managed network environments

Key specifications

• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Optical wavelength: 1310 nm
• Fiber type: single-mode
• Transmission mode: bidirectional (BiDi) over a single fiber
• Form factor: SFP+ hot-pluggable module
• Typical reach: suitable for long-reach single-mode links (see device documentation for exact distance depending on fiber and link budget)

How to use

Insert the BlueOptics SFP-10G-BX-D into an SFP+ port on a compatible switch, router or media converter until it locks into place. Connect the optical fiber with the appropriate LC connectors for transmit and receive; observe the module’s TX/RX orientation as required by bidirectional links. Configure the host device for 10 Gbit/s operation if needed and verify link status via the device management interface. The module can be removed by releasing the latch and pulling it straight out while the host device remains powered, unless the host documentation specifies otherwise.

Recommendations

Use single-mode fiber with LC connectors and ensure fiber polarity matches the module’s TX/RX mapping. Verify compatibility lists from the network equipment vendor before deployment and test the completed link for signal quality and error rates. Store unused modules in anti-static packaging and avoid touching the optical interfaces to prevent contamination.
